Hogwarts The Dark Arts Awakening

The Grangers left the Magical Creatures Shop chatting and laughing with their newfound friends, and the big cat Crookshanks joined the family, held tightly in the arms of the brunette girl.

It was obvious that this was a good position, and Crookshanks snored contentedly in his new owner's arms.

After Jerry and Hermione exchanged their respective shopping progress: in terms of necessary supplies for students, the former only lacked one wand, while the latter had already purchased everything.

When Mr. Granger saw his daughter chatting happily with her future classmates, he took the initiative to express his hope that he could go on another walk with Jerry and the others.

Of course, this father does not have any strange ideas like Professor Snow from afar, but simply hopes that his daughter can have one more friend in school so that they can take care of each other in the future.

After all, Hogwarts is a closed boarding school located in the mysterious magical world.

Although the Grangers chose to fulfill their daughter's magical dream, they are still worried about their daughter's future boarding life, especially after experiencing this unpleasant shopping trip.

In the eyes of the Granger family, Jerry, who took the initiative to lend a helping hand to them, was undoubtedly a friendly and enthusiastic young man who also happened to be a member of the wizarding world. Naturally, they expected the two children to form a friendship.

This was a 'wonderful' misunderstanding. In order to avoid attracting unnecessary attention, Dumbledore now used Transfiguration to disguise himself as his brother Aberforth.

Therefore, when introducing himself, he also used his younger brother's identity - the owner of the Pig's Head Bar in Hogsmeade.

Considering Jerry's previous actions, the Grangers naturally felt that Jerry was familiar with the magical world and could help their daughter if there was any emergency.

From a certain perspective, their guess is right...

Dumbledore has always been happy to see friendships between children, and Jerry himself has no objections. He is happy to make friends with the little witch who has a promising future.

The girl in front of her has outstanding talent and is very diligent and studious. As long as such people are not too unlucky, they will always have outstanding days.

In addition, Jerry was also curious about whether contact with the real Hermione Granger would bring any new changes to the summoning cards based on her future counterpart.

With this idea in mind, Jerry calmly contacted the little witch and guided the topic of the chat.

First, he used a way to comfort the girl to close the psychological distance between the two parties, and then they talked about the magic knowledge that the other party was most curious about at the moment.

Of course, Jerry didn't teach Hermione how to use magic step by step. Dumbledore was still watching from the side.

He just told some things that he should know, including the magical riots in his childhood, the process of self-development and exploration, and what he saw when selecting books in the bookstore not long ago.

These topics related to magic were what Hermione was concerned about. She was very fascinated, but she was also increasingly worried about her own progress.

The little witch, who lacked understanding of the magical world, regarded the young boy talking in front of her as an average child from a wizarding family, and was under great pressure for a while.

"Okay, the wand shop is here." Mr. Granger cheerfully reminded the two children that they had arrived at their destination.

That's right, Ollivander's Wand Shop appeared in front of them, and all members of the wizarding world could tell at a glance that this was a wand shop.

Because there was only one item in the shop's dusty window: a wand, sitting alone on a faded purple cushion.

The gold-lettered signboard at the door clearly identifies the basic information of the store - Ollivander: has been making exquisite wands since 380 BC.

Although the store looked small and shabby, and even the gold-lettered signboard showed signs of peeling, Jerry still looked serious.

The wand can assist wizards in operating magical power, thereby concentrating the effects to achieve more complex purposes. It can be called the most important magic prop for wizards.

To this day, most wizards rely on wands to operate their magic properly.In other words, the wand is an indispensable weapon for the wizard community.

Therefore, in Jerry's eyes, this shop filled with wands was clearly the largest arsenal in the British wizarding world.Even though the appearance is quite dilapidated, it still has the chilling atmosphere of an arsenal out of thin air.

A group of people filed in, and an empty bench and a mountain of wand boxes came into their eyes.

Jerry made a rough estimate of the pile of boxes that almost reached the ceiling. Based on the assumption that one box contained one wand, there were at least several thousand wands in the store.

'More than what I have stored in my [personal collection] and have immeasurable brand value. 'While observing the internal environment of the store, Jerry thought secretly in his heart. 'However, there is one thing Ollivander can never compare to me, and that is the cost of the wand. '

To make a wand, Ollivander needs to select suitable wood to make the wand body, use precious magical substances as the wand core, and engrave runes and enchant it.This process requires both time and energy.

As for Jerry's wand, he obtained it by using Bella's echo to summon the Death Eaters' black equipment. It was a completely costless transaction.

Of course, he does not intend to start a price war hastily now.Although a wand is a necessity for wizards, it is also a durable item.

Taking into account the population problem of wizards and Jerry's own energy, potions as consumables are more worthy of being targeted after graduation.

As for the wands in the [Personal Collection Room], it is better to serve as a stockpile of armaments for future private armies.Being unable to obtain a new wand because the wandmaker was kidnapped would never happen under Jerry's hands.

"Good afternoon." A soft voice sounded, and Ollivander, one of the top three wand makers in Europe, walked out from behind the mountain of wand boxes.He didn't know that his ancestral store was almost going to be cheated and annexed seven years later.

His silver-white eyes were like two bright moons in the dim store, looking at the customers entering the store.

"I still remember..." After feeling that the customer looked familiar, Ollivander wanted to trace back the customer's family's shopping history in his own store as usual, but he got stuck in the middle of the sentence.

He found that the customers who entered the store were the Muggle couple and the little Muggle witch who had left not long ago.

'what happened?Did you suddenly change your mind and want to switch to a handsome beech wand? 'Ollivanders has a bit of a headache. Is this bad habit of pursuing the appearance of a wand over the fit of a wand catching on again?

However, the staff master's worries were dispelled the next moment.

"Hello, boss." Jerry came out and said hello to Ollivander, the arms tycoon in the wizarding world. "My name is Jerry. I am a freshman this year. I want to buy a wand."

"Oh, that's it, no problem at all." Ollivander nodded, then looked at the new customer, then took out a tape measure from his pocket to measure the relevant information.

As the owner of a wand shop, Ollivander is naturally very skilled.

He first asked Jerry about his dominant hand, and then measured the length of the new customer's limbs, height, head circumference, etc., and finally even the distance between the two nostrils.

Jerry was a little curious. Is the specific purpose of doing this to rely on these physical data to narrow down the range of wands that need to be tested one by one?

So, he asked: "Sir, why do you need to measure so many data? What is their specific relationship with selecting a wand?"

"It's the wand that chooses the wizard, and you need to come into contact with a lot of wands at once," Ollivander patiently explained to the customer, "I have to use these data to narrow down the scope of the test, otherwise it will take too much time. "

Jerry glanced at the pile of wand boxes again and nodded in agreement.

Ollivander finished measuring the body data, and while putting away the tape measure, he said to Jerry, "For example, you are obviously relatively tall for your age, and your hands and feet are also very slender, so it is very likely that the wand will suit you. It’s longer than others.”

"Of course, matching the length of a wand in proportion to the wizard's size is only a rough measure. The wizard's temperament and spellcasting style, as well as overall factors in the wand's construction, will all affect the length of the wand."

When talking about his professional field, this world-famous stick-making master couldn't help but beam with excitement.

"Each Ollivander's wand is unique. I found out the three most suitable magical substances for the wand core, and selected matching wood for different wand cores to make the wand body..."

"Each wizard is suitable for a different wand. If you choose the Ollivander wand that suits you, you will be able to show excellent spellcasting effects. Otherwise, it will be different."

After proudly introducing his own wand, Ollivander said that Jerry could now start to interact with the wands one by one, and directly handed over a wand with rich and gorgeous colors.

"Come on, try this one first. It's made of beech wood and phoenix feathers. It's thirteen inches long. Many wizards like beech wood wands, but not everyone can master them."

[Beech Wood Phoenix Tail Feather Wand: The magic value required by the player to cast a spell is reduced by 2 points, the magic recovery speed is +30%, and the collection rate is +30. 】

This attribute is naturally excellent. Jerry took the wand and mobilized his own magic power to flow into it and resonate with it.

The moment Jerry's magic power was injected into him, this beautiful wand accepted him, pulling the flow of magic power and causing a swirling breeze.

"Oh? So fast. It seems that this wand likes you very much." Ollivander was also a little surprised. This time he actually picked the right wand for the first time.

'My judgment is really getting better. Ollivander thought as he handed over another wand. To be cautious, he still had to test a few more wands.

Moreover, without trying it a few times, how can a customer realize that the wand they finally buy is the one that suits them best?

"Maple wood, fire dragon's heart nerve, eleven inches long. It's very flexible, give it a try."

[Maple Fire Dragon Heartstring Wand: The power of all magic the player casts is +20%, the spell proficiency improvement speed is +30%, and the collection rate is +30. 】

Jerry took the wand and waved it again. This time the maple wand shone with light, and the moving light spots illuminated the walls.

Apparently, this is also a sign of being recognized by the wand.

"It's a bit strange. Try this one again. It's made of holly wood and unicorn hair. It's twelve inches long." Ollivander held out a wand again in confusion. He felt that something was wrong.

[Holly wood unicorn hair wand: The effectiveness of the player's protective and healing magic increases by 30%; it can perform emergency rescue on a seriously injured and dying person once a day, allowing him to recover quickly; the collection level +30. 】

Jerry did not refuse anyone who came, and once again made the wand surrender to him, and a fragrance of trees emanated from the tip of the wand.

Seeing this, Ollivander couldn't react. He met a special guest. "Young man, it seems that you are liked by all the wands, but which one is the most suitable for you?"

"Can I buy all three wands and use them together? Although I may not have enough money, I can go to Gringotts to get another one."

Jerry said sincerely that he wanted them all, but he knew in his heart that his purpose was not just for these three powerful wands.

But to ask the wand-making master in front of him a question in a curved way, that is - whether a wizard can use multiple wands at the same time.

For example, six wands can be tied together to form the legendary Gatling staff.
